What you’re looking at

This page contains theatrical reviews and sketches of actors from San Francisco's Rosina Voices Company. The text discusses performances of "Mr. Potter of Texas" and other theatrical works, featuring actors like Joseph Wheelock, Matt B. Snyder, and Felix Morris. The sketches are character illustrations rather than political cartoons—they depict actors in costume portraying roles like "The Chevalier" and "The Old Musician." The satire is theatrical rather than political, gently mocking performer mannerisms and dramatic affectations through exaggerated facial expressions and postures in the sketches. The page represents **Wasp's entertainment coverage**, using caricature to humorously critique local theater productions and actors' performances for San Francisco readers.
